"I just had a technician come out to see about my issue with the furnace condensation pump. He was more of a salesman than a professional, instantly launching into "year-round care plans" and trying to sell me me a new pump before even checking the functionality of the old one. So much hemming and hawing over trying to find out the age of my furnace, presumably so he could try and sell me a new one. Then, he comes at me with the price: New pump plus rerouting the frozen discharge line to the washer discharge? $650. This is obviously not even close to the true price. When I told him not to try high-balling me, he asked "How much, then? Give me a number." No. Unacceptable. Do your job, charge a reasonable price, and everyone is happy. This is no way to run a business ethically. Don't work with Desmond H&C. Don't encourage this kind of salesy repair work or this sort of attitude. They might fix your problem, but they're going to try and upsell you at every turn and treat you like an idiot"

When you need AC heating or plumbing services, look no further than Horizon Services. For nearly 30 years, we’ve been the trusted name in plumbing heating, and air conditioning, offering an unmatched level of service at reasonable rates.

"Less than 5 years ago, I spent in excess of $10,000 to have a new unit installed with a 10 year warranty. I should have seen the red flags from the very beginning. The sales representative told us additional vents would be installed and when the installation crew showed up, that did not happen. Fast forward to the present and I am now on my 4th phone call for an appointment this season, 3 days so far of not being able to work as I waited for a technician to come diagnose the problem. The 3rd. tech came last night and indicated that the work the other tech did was not for the root of the problem. (I was told in front of witnesses that the work needed to be done, was not covered under warranty, would cost me $367 and would fix my issues)In fact, the 3rd tech only made the issue worse by leaving our attic return unscrewed and overfilling our unit with Freon that the 4th tech had to remove from our system. Upon leaving last night I was told that everything was corrected. Today - my home is slowly creeping up in temperature (presently 80 degrees inside, while set to 72). The company keeps trying to sell me a "maintenance plan" and I keep reiterating to EVERY one who pushes it that we have been getting tune ups/cleanings elsewhere and will only use them for warranty issues since we have had NOTHING but problems with them."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

While most air conditioners can last between 10 and 20 years, they will only last this long (or longer) if properly taken care of. Routine maintenance and inspections help keep your AC unit running in tip-top shape but understanding what factors will decrease its lifespan will also help keep your unit running cool.

Some things that shorten your AC’s lifespan include:

  • Extreme outdoor conditions, like high humidity or extensive salt spray 

  • Improper installation

  • Extended run times, either by the unit being too small or the thermostat setting too low

  • Not performing required maintenance

Swamp coolers cost approximately 50 percent less to install than central air conditioners and cost less to run. Operation costs depend on the size of the unit and home, your climate, utility rates in your area, and the system’s efficiency. Swamp coolers use 15 to 35 percent less power than air conditioners.

If your AC condenser is nearing the end of its life, it might leak fluid or make loud or unusual sounds (like grinding or hissing). You might also notice that it isn’t heating your home as evenly or effectively as it once did. Also, an aging condenser will have to work harder to cool your home, which may force it to use more power and drive up your utility bills.

A window AC unit is not completely silent. You’ll hear the sound of air blowing, and if you put your ear right up next to the unit, you may hear a slight hiss or gurgle as the refrigerant flows through the system. That said, if your system is making a running water sound, a loud banging sound, a grinding sound, or physically vibrating, you may be facing an issue or malfunction with your AC unit.

To find a reputable HVAC company, start by finding providers in your area that have mostly positive reviews online. Next, check the Better Business Bureau’s website for customer complaints. Some states and municipalities require technicians to be licensed, so you should rule out companies that aren’t. Finally, contact each professional and ask for per-hour pricing, contract availability, and references to call. You can also ask if they have worked on your particular system brand in the past to confirm that they’re qualified.
